Equations of Operation
Define as the ratio of collector current to emitter
current:

iE
Values for range from 0.9 to 0.999 with 0.99 being
typical. Since:
i E iC i B 0.99i E i B i B 0.01i E
Most of the emitter current comes from the collector
and very little (1%) from the base.

Only a small fraction of the emitter current flows into the base
provided that the collector-base junction is reverse biased and the
base-emitter junction is forward biased.

Inverting Amplifier
As vin(t) goes positive, the load line moves upward and to the
right, and the value of iB increases. This causes the operating
point on the output to move upwards, decreasing vCE An
increase in vin(t) results in a much larger decrease in vCE so that
